  Dancing in both the up stairs and downstairs ballrooms. Diiner dances in the downstairs ballroom after saving up for weeks and borrowing posh dresses.

  Then in turned into a ‘posh’ casino and many happy hours spent drinking G&T’s and marvelling at the amount of money the Chinese in particular placed on the tables and never blinked an eyelid when they lost. Playing ‘Kalooki’ occassionally.

  Memories again.

  What does it do now?

  China Cave - to the right in part of the basement - many happy hours spent in there.

  Friends of mine got married there four years ago. I met one of my now-ex’s at their reception - she was the first woman I dated that I seriously wanted to marry. She’s still with the guy she dumped me for *sigh*

  Mrs K, it does a good Christmas do (or at least it did a couple of years back) and a good wedding reception too. Thanks for sharing your memories :)

  Mosh - that’s better than the alternative surely - would have been far worse if she’d dumped him within a week and still not gone back to you?

  Dave - you should find an event there to go to - it’s good!

  When did they do that? The sign always read “Old Assembly Rooms” now it says, “The Assembly Rooms”. Is nothing sacred? I hope they haven’t messed with the interior, especially the ballroom with its magnificent chandeliers and ornate plaster work. I love the name of the street too - Fenkle Street.

  I hadn’t noticed that that had changed Alf! What a shame.

  I actually just realised that the last two posts I put on this blog were about my ex. Good grief. Sorry!

  P.S. You need a comments subscription service as I miss all the replies!

  Shocking Mosh!!! And yes we need comment subscription….. but it is indeed there. For me at least! There’s a ticky box right above the text, can you not see it? Also - I still don’t know how to get an avatar and you have one, so….!
